It will have corriflute fins and your side deployment system.<br /><br />I have not done any simulations yet but depending on the outcome of that I might extend the pressure vessel with a single 1.5l bottle and a tornado coupling to get a decent altitude for parachute deployment/recovery. <br />I will not be reinforcing any bottles yet so my launch pressure is probably limited to 90 - 100 psi and I am not yet sure how this compares to the dry weight of the rocket.Oscar van de Leurnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38795037.post-36361150362437931452011-09-08T09:52:48.042+10:002011-09-08T09:52:48.042+10:00Thanks Oscar,
